so i found all the parts i needed to get my car back together, i spoke with a guy from cali with the bumper and he said that fedex and ups wanted about $400 to ship the bumper to texas. i also found a fender and he said that it was gunna cost $500 to ship that.... whats the deal with these prices? does that sound about right? i know that it only cost about 20 dollars to ship 2 headlights in one big box the size of the light fender....

 

Wow, that's a rip off! I have a friend locally who ships complete body kits for $300.

Definitely find a different source for your parts.

 

well one is a guy here with good rep... i just dont understand where the shipping company got those prices.... unless they thought they were extremely heavy.

 

it cost 100 dollars to have my JDM evo 9 bumper shipped. the box was about 5 feet tall, 2 feet wide and shaped like a big "U". it was delivered to my door in perfect shape

 

where did you order your bumper from kevin?

 

I was charged $175 from Grounddynamics for a front bumper.

 

Definitely sounds like too much. Ground quote from Fedex to ship off a Mustang bumper from here to San Francisco was $125.

 

Check Greyhound. They ship and give tracking numbers. I'm getting 06' leather seats and my friend is shipping them greyhound. Its only 50 bucks to ship the fronts, backs and all the door panels.

 

i got the bumper from driveline motorsports here on evom

 

The guy isn't trying to rip you off... Fedex, UPS, all the sort have a "maximum" size/volume they will ship.. prices go up dramatically.

Unless you have a special account they will stick with this maximum volume, and ding you badly. Good luck.

 

ill see if they will ship it greyhound?? im guessing like the bus company??

 

I remember when I ordered my body kit for the Eclipse, it only cost me like $125. I think it was from Extreme Dimensions out in Cali all the way to Toledo, OH.

 

rip-off, check other options.

 

see thats the thing, im sure they are not trying to rip me off because they just dropped the sale after they found the price of shipping. i jsut dont understand the insane shipping

 

I'm sure they went off of dimensions vs. weight, sometimes depending on the person doing the quote they'll try to add some markup to it..Although even with markup that is still a very high price.
